John 4:37
Compare all
35 Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes athe harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, bfor they are already white for harvest!  
36 aAnd he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that bboth he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.  
37 For in this the saying is true: a‘One sows and another reaps.’  
38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; aothers have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”  

The Savior of the World

39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him abecause of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did.”  
40 So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.

<< John 4:36   John 4:38 >>


John 4:37

That saying - That proverb. This proverb is found in some of the Greek writers (Grotius). Similar proverbs were in use among the Jews. See Isaiah 65:21-22; Leviticus 26:16; Micah 6:15.

One soweth ... - One man may preach the gospel, and with little apparent effect; another, succeeding him, may be crowned with eminent success. The seed, long buried, may spring up in an abundant harvest.
